operator positions 'ity so'ft'hat" the hooked end will extend oifer theY riin fof 'the vessel Vandthe arm 32bit thelever willrestu'pon'the edge n igll." A slight pressure by the operator will then cause the lever 32 toswing until stopped by the pro jection 35 and thereby open the valve so that water or other fluid will flow from the hose around the valve head 2() and through bore 17. The fluid will impinge upon the annular flange 26 and will be deflected radially outward instead of flowing straight along the stem where its pressure would tend 'to carry it into the clearance space between the stem a. bell-crank lever and the bore 16. The space 26 and the passage 28 are otrelatively` large area compared with thev space around the valve head 20 when the valve is open and this fact taken with the deiiection of the stream by the liange 26 prevents pressure from building up in the space 26 and leakage around the stem 23 during the time the valve is open is thereby avoided, this being a rather important feature of my invention. i y

When the vessel is iilled, the simplememoval of the nozzle from the iilling position permits the pressure on the valve head 20 to automatically shut ofi the flow of iiuid. If the nozzle is then thrown onto the' ground or pavement, as frequently happens in practice, there is very httlevdanger of the valve operating mechanism suffering injury as theV lever 31 is fully protected by the hookshaped portion ofthe nozzle. There is also little likelihood vthat the valve will bek momentarily opened when the nozzle is thus thrown on the ground, as Would'be the case if the valve operating lever were unprotected.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:

l. Ina device of the class described, a nozzle having a hooked end, a valve, and a valve operatinglever pivoted to swing within the hooked end and protected thereby against damage.

i 2. In a device of the class described, a nozzle having a hooked end, a valve in the nozzle, a bell-crank lever pivoted to the nozzle at one side of the hook, one arm of the lever extending into the space Within the hook for operating said valve andthe other arm bridging the space across the hook.

3. In a device of the class described, a

vnozzle having` a hooked end, a valve in the "nozzle, a valve operating bell-crank lever pivoted'to the nozzle at one side of the hook, one arm of the lever being short and extendinginto the space within the hook tor operative engagement with said valve and the other arm bridging the space across the hook.

f 4. In a device of the class described, a nozzle having a hooked end, a valve in the nozzle, a valve operating lever pivoted to the nozzle at one side of the hooked end and substantially bridging the space across the hook, and a stop on the discharge side of nee-gel said hooked end for preventing the lever from swinging out of the space within the hook.

5. In combination, a nozzle having a hookshaped portion, a slidable valve piece therein comprising a head and stem, and means located within the hook portion of the nozzle ior actuating said stem to unseat the valve head when the nozzle is hung over the rim of a vessel. Y Y

6. In combination, a nozzle having'a hookshaped portion, a slidable valve piece comprising a head and stem, said stem being slidable in a bore in the nozzle and projecting normally into the space Within the hoolishaped portion of the nozzle, and a doublearmed lever pivoted to said'nozzle, one arm of the leverrextending across the space Within the hook and the other arm being adapted to engage and actuate said stem to unseat the head of the valve.

7. In a device of the class'described, a

nozzle comprising a portion adapted to be moving said stem against the pressure on the valve, said means being so positioned as to be operable by engagement with the rim of a vessel when the nozzle is positioned to discharge into the vessel.

8. In a device of the classvdescribed, a nozzle having `a threaded end adapted to be attached to a pressure line and awrelatively restricted bore at one end of which there is a'valve seat, a valve member for engaging said seat, a Astem for said valve movable in said bore and having an integral deflecting flange adjacent the opposite end of said bore, said stem projecting through the nozzle wall, said nozzle having a hooked end from which the water is discharged, and

,a lever on the exterior' of said nozzle within said hooked end and protected thereby, said lever cooperating with said stem to eifect the opening of said valve.

, In testimony whereof, I hereunto aiiix my signature.
